Where is Germany ??

"Hey Sree".. Turned back to see my colleague Wang wanting to ask something to me.. He was framing his sentence as usual before talking to me.. (If this is new for you this is how south asian ppl speak English)..

"You want something CM ??" This is me.. His full name is CM Wang.. Don't ask me whats CM !! I can't pronounce..

"Sree.. You know where is Germany?".. I didn't expect this from CM at the middle of a busy day's work.. How in this world CM wants to know where is Germany ?? I want to confirm.. "CM can you come again?".. "You see Germany.. Where is Germany? ".. This time I heard it pretty well.. "Its in Europe" was my reply.. I guess thats a fair reply..

Its CM's turn to get shocked.. "In Europeeeeee... " there was a big question mark behind this phrase !! I'm pretty sure you know.. I scored the highest in Geo in my batch :) I assured him again "Yeah CM.. Im sure.. Germany is in Europe.. "

Now CM became a little lighter.. "Sree.. You are joking !!".. to tell the truth this hit me like a bullet, atleast I should be respected for topping a boring subject :) .. "C'mon CM why do I lie ? I'm not joking.. Germany is in Europe.. I can prove it with a world map !!" Now thats too big a sentence for CM to understand.. So again explained it slowly..

This time CM got it.. "Oh no no.. Not germany.. I asked about Germany.." I know off late CM is loaded with work.. But never thought it would affect him so much that at the middle of a day he wants to know "Where Germany is ? "

Now I'm a bit annoyed.. "CM are you trying to pull a prank against me?" Again prank is too tough a vocabulary.. Gathered myself and asked.. "So CM what do you want to know? Can you be clear?"..

This time CM doesn't want to miss it.. Opened his telephone guide and showed me a name.. Everything got cleared in one shot.. "Jeremie went out for lunch just now" was my reply.. Guess you got which Germany he was searching for..
